Ever been to a party where you start showing friends your favorite YouTube videos? Compete for the screen to see who knows the latest and greatest hit? Now you can get the same experience even if you’re a world away, with the new YouTube app in Google+ Hangouts.

Create, control, save and even share playlists of videos with your friends—all inside a Hangout. Just start a Hangout, have everyone load the YouTube app at the top of the screen, and start adding videos. It’s like your own VIP table at the world’s coolest YouTube party.

Crowdsourcing awesomeness
Everyone can add videos in the Hangout through a search tool in the app, or remove the videos you don’t like. All your friends in the Hangout can drag and drop videos to sort the order in the playlist, or skip forward or backward to play the next one. Click the “Push to talk” button to chat with the group to give props to the best curator, or to hand out reprimands to the friend who keeps adding the 10-hour Nyan Cat video.

Save and share those precious memories
If you like a video that’s playing, you can share the video with your Google+ circles at any time. Since great playlists are works of art, you can also save the playlist that you and your friends created to your YouTube account as public or private to enjoy later.

So gather the team to watch the last night’s game highlights, hangout with your friends for a haul-a-thon, assemble the audiophiles to review the newest tunes, or come up with a whole new way to enjoy (and let us know!). The new app is available worldwide in 60 languages.

Can we share Unlisted Videos in the Hangout? I don't necessarily want everyone in the hangout to have the link to a 'special video', so using Hangouts as a way to preview that vid to others would be Brilliant! But it needs to be able to show Unlisted or Private videos and the last version could not do that.

at last! and it's great. needs solution: blocked and reported an old school chat spammer, and he returned, also appeared in the post about the hangout. minor annoyance. one more thing: didn't know where to find the playlist i saved, perhaps i didn't listen carefully, but i found it tho, so now i'm thinking whether i could have that playlist load in the hangout again.
